madhyamAvati - short sketch

The concert began with a neat rendition of the varNam and the hamsadvani kriti had nice svarams. Haripriya's elaboration of rItigauLa was good and the kriti was well rendered. Shanmukhapriya's pUrvikalyANi was good also. The svarams were good.

The main bhairavi AlApanai by Haripriya was quite elaborate. The kriti was rendered well with neraval and svarams at 'aparimita navaratnamulu poDigina'. The post tani pieces were good also.

On the whole, the sisters gave a nice concert. The co-ordination between the sisters was very good. The pronounciation of lyrics and apt splitting of words were very evident They were ably supported by the accompanists.

Priya Sisters - MA Krishnaswamy - Neyveli Skanda Subramanian - SV Ramani

The evening started with a long introduction. The Sisters started with the sArangA varNam 'intha mOdi' followed by 'vara vallabha ramaNam' in hamsadhwani ending in brisk swarams. Sivan's chakravAkkam kriti 'EshanE indha Ezhaikkiranga' was the next piece. varALi elaboration by haripriya was good. the renditions of tyagaraja's 'ETi janmamidi hA' was beautiful with swarams at 'sAtilEni mAra'. shanmukhapriya started with a malayamArutam Alapanai which haripriya aptly finished and the tyagaraja kriti 'manasA Etulo' was well rendered with kalpanai swarams at 'kalilO rAjasa'. Dikshitar's 'nAgagAndhAri rAganutE' was followed by a neat kIravANi Alapanai by haripriya. the periyasami thooran kriti 'puNNiyam oru kOdi' was followed by neraval and elaborate swarams at 'annai kAmAkshi pOlE anbE vaDivAi vandAr' followed by the tani. the concert ended with 'muruganin maru peyar' in bEhAg and 'pavamAna'.

haripriya's alapanais and swarams were all as usual quite beautiful while shanmukapriya was quite reaching there. MA krishnaswamy sounded rather gimmicky and not that impressive which he is in most occasions. The tani was very good. Skanda Subramanian played quite well beyond problems with his mrUdangam which kept going off sruthi while SV Ramani did a very decent job. It was a nice concert with rather an abrupt ending probably due to pressing from organisers.
